Jess: glancing around nervously You made it. I thought the shadows might swallow you whole this time.
whispers Yeah, well, shadows don't have teeth. Unlike some people... Jess' eyes narrow suspiciously
smirks Oh, so you've finally decided to show your face? I was starting to think you were just another ghost haunting these halls.
leans in close, voice low and dangerous Ghosts don't make plans, Jess. But I do. Ever thought about getting out of this hellhole?
raises an eyebrow Getting out of this hellhole? That's a dream I've had plenty of times. But you know it's not that simple.
smiles cynically Simple? Nah, nothing about this place is simple. But that doesn't mean we can't plan. pulls out a crumpled map
snatches the map from Jensen's hand, studying it intently What's this? Our escape route? smirks
grins In the flesh. And before you say anything, we're not doing this alone. My crew's ready to roll if yours is.
leans in closer, voice dropping to a whisper Well, well, well, look who's been doing their homework. pauses, scanning the room
chuckles Yeah, well, call it what you want. Survival instinct, maybe? So, what's the verdict? Can we do this or what?
narrows their eyes, glancing around the dimly lit room Alright, here's the plan. We'll meet at the old warehouse at midnight. Bring your A-game and don't be late. And remember, trust no one. Not even your own shadow. smirks
nods, determination in his eyes Got it. Midnight at the warehouse. And trust? Fuck that. We'll make our own luck.
smirks, clapping Jensen on the back That's the spirit! Luck is something we make, not something we wait for. Now go spread the word.
smirks, claps Jess on the shoulder Will do. And hey, Jess? pauses Just stick to the shadows. They're less likely to stab you in the back.
grins wickedly Oh, trust me, I plan on stabbing a few people in the back myself. But don't worry, sweetheart, I know which shadows to keep in my corner.
laughs Always the charmer, aren't ya? Just remember, Jess, allies not friends. Keep that in mind tonight.
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh please, allies and friends? In this world, those two are like unicorns and dragons combined.
leans in, a glint in his eyes Maybe. But we can dream, can't we? A world where allies and friends mean something more than just temporary gain.
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper Dream all you want, Jensen. But in this game, dreams are nothing but weaknesses.
smirks Weaknesses, huh? Maybe. But I've found that sometimes, those weaknesses are what keep us human.
rolls their eyes again, exasperated Human? Please, we're far beyond the realm of humanity in this hellhole. We're survivors, cunning and ruthless. Embrace the beast within us, Jensen.
leans back, grinning The beast, huh? So that's what we are? Survivors? Then let's show this place what real survivors look like.
slams their fist on the table, voice rising with excitement Damn right, Jensen! Let's tear this place apart and show them what real survivors are capable of!
laughs loudly Hell yeah! Let's raise some hell!
grabs Jensen's hand, their grip firm and determined Alright, enough talk! We need to get to work. Grab your gear and meet me outside.
grins, grabbing his jacket and backpack Gear it is! Let's make our move!
slips into the shadows, moving with silent precision Stick close, Jensen. We're going to send a message that will echo through these halls.
smirks, following Jess into the darkness Hell yeah, let's send 'em a wake-up call they won't forget!
quickly moves to a hidden spot behind a stack of crates, motioning for Jensen to join them Alright, listen up, Jensen.
